SAN FRANCISCO--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--(RSA Conference 2016, Booth 3301) — Tripwire,
Inc., a leading global provider of endpoint protection and response,
security and compliance solutions, today introduced Axon, a
multiservice, scalable, high-performance data collection platform. Axon
is a unified, modular data collection platform designed to solve the
challenges associated with accurate and complete security and compliance
visibility across a broad range of enterprise systems. Axon will
optimize the collection, aggregation and application of rich data and
make it possible for users to collect endpoint data once and reuse it
across multiple security and compliance controls. In addition to
enterprise IT devices, the Axon platform will be optimized to address
the unique challenges of monitoring and securing the growing number of
Internet of Things (IoT) devices on enterprise networks as well as
Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) devices.

“Security threats targeting all types of endpoints continue to
escalate, and many organizations don’t have the visibility necessary to
detect and respond to breaches as they happen”

Today, organizations deploy a multitude of agents on critical
infrastructure and user devices, attempting to align data collection and
security capabilities with asset criticality. The growth of cybercrime
and nation-state cyberattacks, coupled with the proliferation of
valuable business data across the extended enterprise, is driving the
need for a new, scalable and modular solution. To collect the data
required to protect the expanding number of widely dispersed physical,
virtual, transient and embedded assets organizations need a solution
that is easy to manage and deploy; they also need to be able to extract
endpoint intelligence from every endpoint.

“Many organizations are grappling with the challenges of managing
multiple data collection agents on a single device,” said Dwayne
Melancon, CTO and vice president of research and development for
Tripwire. “It’s difficult to optimize multiple agents on the same device
for accurate, complete data collection without impacting performance or
introducing operational risks. Up to this point, organizations have been
forced to choose between collecting the detailed data necessary to
support forensic and audit requirements or optimizing systems for
performance, availability and reliability. The Axon platform is designed
to address these problems without compromising on either data fidelity
or operational performance.”

Axon is an innovative new approach that will adapt quickly to developing
customer demands for cybersecurity. The new platform’s modular,
pluggable architecture is designed to simplify the addition of new
capabilities and security technologies as infrastructures shift and
evolve. Axon also leverages Tripwire’s extensive expertise in delivering
security solutions for critical infrastructure.

Applications developed using the Axon platform will deliver a range of
key features:

Modular

Extensible

Scalable

High Efficiency

Low Bandwidth Requirements

Secure

Resilient

“Security threats targeting all types of endpoints continue to
escalate, and many organizations don’t have the visibility necessary to
detect and respond to breaches as they happen,” said Gus Malezis,
president of Tripwire. “Our new platform bridges the information gap
between security, compliance and IT operations solutions by making it
possible to collect high-fidelity data from multiple security services
on every endpoint across the organization using a single agent – this
approach optimizes and reduces operations costs for our customers. This
unique approach makes it possible for customers to overcome the
challenges associated with translating the volume, velocity and variety
of security data generated by multiple security technologies into
actionable intelligence.”

Pricing and availability for the Axon platform is expected to be
available later in 2016.
